Sophos UTM & VPN's Question

TheKid7
If I use a VPN Service (i.e., ProXPN), do the Sophos UTM Antivirus Engines scan the files which are going through the VPN?

I would think that since the files are encrypted that the Antivirus Engine scans would not be able to detect any Malware.  Is that the case?

Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,

    If the VPN tunnel is established between a pc and a server, the UTM sits in the middle somewhere, the UTM will not be able to scan traffic inside the tunnel. To be able to do so the UTM has to be one of the endpoints.

    How do you make the UTM an endpoint?  Is there an UTM configuration option?
